All about our turkeys
Our Broad Breasted turkeys are ordered from a hatchery every year. They grow quickly and are ready for your table in less than 6 months. Although you can get them to live for a year, it comes with difficulties since the breed was developed for its quick growth as a commercial product. Usually what you find in your local grocery store each year are these type of turkeys, that have been artificially inseminated and grown out quickly. They are raised on large commercial farms in large poultry houses.
Here at Battle Creek Poultry we raise them the same as we do all of our Birds: slowly with a well balanced diet and lots of exercise. Our Broad Breasted turkeys usually reach a weight of about 22 pounds.
Pricing for 2025/26:
Broad Breasted Turkeys $6.00/pound (average weight 22 pounds)
